Democracy?

This article speaks on the differences between a democracy and a republic. It is a critical difference, as stark as the difference between night and day! We've been conditioned to think of the United States as a democracy, but it was actually founded as a democratic republic. In short, democracy is not the panacea for societal ills or the highest form of government. It actually leads to fascism, totalitarianism, and the decay of any society that embraces it. Are we not seeing these effects today? Be honest with yourself and witness the decline in America, and you will have no doubt that it all stems from the change from a republic to a democracy. THINK!
